Rockville, MD Engineer: Marco Delmar Mixer: Marco Delmar Mastered by: Greg Calbi Boones Farm Wine i've got a photograph of how it used to be got a picture book full of things we used to see now we sit around and never dream i just sit around thinking about the way we used to be chorus: i'm alright stay up late tonight i'll be fine boones farm wine there was a rocket ship that crashed into the sea we've got a dog that sits there and watches t.v. the people next door got books about some things you wouldn't believe i just sit around thinking about the way we used to be chorus i met a girl outside sitting by a stream said she couldn't breathe and that she never dreams built a fence outside and i could never see i just sit around thinking about the way we used to be chorus Expect Me now we're tired i've seen that look before have i expired return me to the store and when i'm high you've seen me when i'm blue and when you cry i don't know what to do chorus: did you expect me to say the things you did did you expect me to stand in line my hand held like a kid did you expect me to think we were in love did you expect me to sink below while you rose right above now i'm down i can't take anymore and when you frown should my heart hit the floor and i'll get by you'll see me when i do and when i fly i won't know what to do chorus You're So Pretty the streets are cold tonight the cops are looking for another fight fairfax is a dirty town where i've spent six years after moving around maybe i gave you a scare outside the coffee shop with all your friends there but i can't be alone tonight throw your coffee in my face that's right you're so pretty i saw you at the planet last night on the dance floor beneath a crimson light he was dancing walls around you but you can be a prisoner on the outside too he was staring at that mirror put there at the highlights in your deep breath red hair and do you like those shell green eyes just rub your hands against a girl-white thigh you're so pretty i saw you on the back deck last night i could tell you two were having a fight he looked into those shell green eyes just begging you to change your mind i know you really like your red hair because he was crying into the thin black cold air you had a certain glow last night laughing with your friends as he drove out of sight you're so pretty When Morning Comes the blinds are all pulled straight nothing gets in here and have you put on your armored plate nothing gets in here have you ever dreamed or is tomorrow just another day if you've never dreamed why are you so far away i'm here you're here and we're both here let's leave this world far behind dear chorus: i wake up late at night and feel you slipping away with the approaching light where do you go when morning comes i love you and you like me we're lying here in misery where do you go when moming comes i've checked and locked the doors nothing gets in here have you checked and locked yours i guess nothing gets in there and have you ever cried and felt the tears form deep inside if you've never cried why are you here by my side i'm here you're here and we're both here let's leave this world far behind dear chorus Never Going Back never going back to your mother's farm there are too many people there trying to do me harm the poems you write they make me feel like a whore there's too many people there they watch me pace the floor chorus: talk about, and when you shout you make me feel like i'm nothing at all talk it out, and when you shout you make me feel like i'm three feet tall we'll tear down the sky and look at the stars i want to see your face when it shines like mars tear down the stars and look at the sky i want to be yours but i don't know why out across the lake, there comes a distant sound the sound of wolves gathering and pawing frozen ground and all that i want is you in my arms and we'll go swimming there down on your mother's farm chorus I Hear Voices you never told me you could have told me you should have told me i guess it's lonely a daily stoning but you could have told me should i have to cry, did i build a world that walked all over you and if you ever called me out they built a world that walked all over you didn't i try again to build a world that walked all over you and everytime i called it up they built a world that walked all over you you get so ragged it's more than baggage and torn green jackets the piss you live in is not from my sin it's just the piss you crave did i have to fall, did i build a world that walked all over you everytime you crawl outside they built a world that walked all over you didn't i try again to build a world that walked all over you and when i had to crawl outside they built a world that walked all over you everytime i cried at night they built a world that walked all over you and everytime you crawled outside they built a world that walked all over you didn't i die again and build a world that walked all over you were you going to call it rough they built a world that walked all over you Never Crawl i've seen you walk around, i've seen your eyes cast to the ground and i can see you there front porch on a rocking chair alone chorus: funny thing about people everytime you see them run outside they leave you cold funny thing about people they laugh as they go away you never crawl you never stumble and now the blood is dry, do you find comfort when you're high i know she beats you up and your whole life's been getting by and now its night again and you're locked out without a friend and i can see you there building in an office chair alone chorus Rain Pours Down a hill to climb three steps up and i fall it's going through my mind as i tumble a purple matchbox car i lost when i was nine maybe i'm blind but that's okay sometimes the world can be unkind but there's a new world out there there's a little cafe down there i just want to sit there chorus: everytime i see my face there that will be last time i try to become something else that's fine you've got to live your life that's fine you've got to do what's right i'm just trying to be calm but the rain keeps pouring down i'll be just fine just three steps up like before and the valley's far behind and should i stumble hope is not a choice we're given even if it's raining all the time chorus all over me so blind that i can't see become what you want to be chorus I Believe my son just left today sailed to america my other son he went away to join the i.r.a. there's a fire upon the heath the peat is charred beneath on dublin's fires I'm breathing as i jump into the sea somebody rescue me don't leave me dying all alone chorus: i believe can you ever learn to love with bullets from above is there any reason why to hear a mother cry and there's the shadow of a man standing up on bailes strand cuchulain's armor gleaming as i jump into the sea somebody rescue me don't leave me dying all alone chorus and my son just called today they've taken him away as i hear the cell door slam i realize who i am i'm praying to the sky to he who sits on high and everyone is grieving as i jump into the sea somebody rescue me don't leave me dying all alone Broken Oar i thought i was a poet on a stage i grew a beard to hide my lack of age i thought i'd build a boat to sail offshore i woke up with my hands all bruised and sore chorus: come on say it what we're searching for come on try again another boat another broken oar i tried to be the singer in a band three times at night i'd step up to the stand they'd pay to hear me sing of death and grief it's hard to get by like this in a week chorus in this boat you start to realize it's hard to steer with the stars in your eyes is there something left for me to try or paddle circles screaming at the sky chorus A Season man looks in a forest at his fear leaves nature laughing through its tears at everything when he falls down pulls a brown stone out of his back then he trips and he falls when he runs down here as the north wind cries chorus: everything has a season and only time will last feel the leaves falling fast behind us men expend their little lives so fast man grabs for a weapon to beat the tide leaves his indelible mark an a hillside and he doesn't laugh when he falls down pulls a black stone out of his back then he cuts and he burns when he runs down here as the animals die chorus: everything has a season and only time will last feel the strings being drawn behind us men expend their little lives so fast a season Listen To The River have you ever seen it flow and wonder where it goes as it tumbles while standing on the shore there's things you ignore as it falls apart have you ever seen a raven gasping dying breath just to go away have you ever seen a cloud that's laughing you have to wait for it, it's not to late for it chorus: there's a sound on the river tonight put your head down and you will hear voices crying the river's dying no one ever listens to the river the water that surrounds forever falling down as it makes it's way trip upon the shore keep trying to ignore all the things you see have you ever watched it rain on Sunday have you ever tried to stare into the sun it's burnt on every hill and byway it's not to late for it, you have to pray for it chorus (repeat two times): there's a song on the river tonight put your head down and you will hear voices crying the river's trying no one ever listens to the river |
